Sans Faceted Ofby 4 is a bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Bal 2024' by Ikioda Design Office, 'Black River' by Larin Type Co, and 'Antiquel' by Lemonthe (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, angular sans with chamfered corners and faceted, curve-replacing geometry throughout. Strokes are uniform and heavy, with squared terminals and consistent, crisp edges that create a mechanical rhythm. Counters tend toward polygonal forms (notably in O, Q, 0, 8, 9), while letters like S and C are constructed from straight segments with clipped corners. Proportions are relatively tight, with narrow apertures and a sturdy vertical emphasis that keeps word shapes dense and punchy.
Best suited to display work where its faceted construction can be clearly seen: headlines, posters, branding marks, team/sports identity, packaging, and signage. It also fits UI labels or product naming when a technical, machined aesthetic is desired, though the dense texture suggests using generous tracking and comfortable sizes for longer text.
The overall tone feels engineered and utilitarian—confident, tough, and slightly futuristic. Its faceted construction evokes stenciled hardware markings, sports jersey lettering, and sci‑fi interface labels, giving it a purposeful, no-nonsense voice.
The design appears intended to translate geometric, machined forms into a readable sans, replacing curves with planar facets for a distinctive silhouette. It prioritizes impact and consistency over softness, aiming for strong presence in titles and branding contexts where an industrial or technical feel supports the message.
Diagonal joins are clean and decisive (V, W, X, Y), while round forms retain a consistent octagonal silhouette that reads well at display sizes. The lowercase follows the same hard-edged logic as the uppercase, producing a cohesive texture in longer lines; the figure set is similarly polygonal and strong, suited to prominent numbering.
